Grace at LAST

14-On this episode we look at Law and Grace and the difference between the two covenants. We looked at who the Law was given to and why. Gentiles were not at Mt. Sinai when God gave Israel the Law and He never intended you and I to make it into something to complete our holiness. These are the truths that will set us free and our introduction into God’s promised land, the It is Finished work of Je...

13-In today’s episode we contrast Law and Grace and ask why it is important? We asked if it is reasonable for us to give the Law a place of importance in our lives? What does Scripture say and what should we know? Who are the Pharisees of today and what and why are they trying to tell us what to think? These questions and more on the Grace at LAST podcast.

12-In this episode, we look at part 4 of our 4-part series, Nothing to Prove. Living in the rest of God is the way of the new covenant. It is not a covenant of works, but of rest. When we live with nothing to prove to anyone, we can be genuine. Nothing to prove allows us freedom to make choices despite what others may think. If God is leading us, let no man persuade us otherwise. These are the top...

11-In this episode we look at part 3 of our 4-part series, Nothing to Hide. Do we need to feel ashamed and guilty because we are not doing better at life?  Do we need to join in the hypocrisy of others because we cannot be ourselves, faults, and all? Where does this type of behavior come from and how can I stand against being a phony? We will answer questions like this and more on today’s Grace at...

10-Today we look at part 2 of our four-part series, Nothing to Lose.  Can we lose favor with God and are we losing rewards if we don’t serve and sacrifice like other Christians? Can I lose crowns or do we all get the same?  How much is God really asking of us or is He the One that provides everything for us? We will answer these questions and more on today’s Grace at LAST podcast.

9-Today in Episode 9 we are going to look at rewards and ask if there is something I can gain with God? If so, how? 2 Corinthians 9:6 says to sow generously and then I can be sure of a big harvest from God. Or is that really what it says? What is it that God really wants from me? How can I turn from living a life of waiting for God to do something, to living in the reality of what He has already d...

8-Today we are going to look at timelines in the Bible and in our lives. Where do we draw the line?  Understanding the covenant we are in with God, is a wise thing to do. How does God see me and how do I respond? If we don’t understand the new covenant, it is impossible to live in the full inheritance Christ has provided.  The world divides human history and our very calendars by the birth of Chri...

7-In this seventh episode we look at  James 5  as we bring this small book to a close.  Who is this message intended for consideration? Are these terrifying words for those who have humbled themselves before the Lord and are born from above or is James still talking to those obsessed with making money and even mistreating people for financial gain? As we wrap up this book, what do we want to walk...

6-In this sixth episode we look at  James 4  as we bring this small book to a close.  Who is this message intended for consideration? Are these terrifying words for those who have humbled themselves before the Lord and are born from above or is James still talking to those obsessed with making money and even mistreating people for financial gain? As we wrap up this book, what do we want to walk aw...

5-Today I want to talk about James 3 and see if the Holy Spirit wants to teach us something new about our life in Christ under the new covenant. There is some really good advice in the book of James and so much of it will make life better if we believe it. But some of it confuses me. Like, as a teacher is God going to judge me more harshly than others? Is He going to judge anyone for their behavio...

4-In this fourth episode, we look at James 2 . This is such a controversial chapter and one that can clearly conflict with some of Paul’s New Testament letters. So, what do we do? Are they for us as believers? If we don’t have works, is our faith dead? We will look at these passages and see what we can learn by putting the book of James in its proper context and audience. We will attempt to see if...

3-In this third episode, we begin looking at the book of James to decipher what part of his letter is meant for us as believers and what parts are not. Specifically, we cover chapter 1 and look at some truths that could be meant to shake up and reach those that may be double minded about who Jesus is. We also talk about if there are more crowns and rewards for those that handle trials well. Learn...

2-In this second episode, I share my testimony and the unique way I came to know Jesus. I also share about my journey as a woman teacher and leader in organized religion since 1999 and my journey out of legalism. I am hoping that you will find something to relate to that will set you free from performance-based Christianity and help you find the joy and rest Christ offers us. Learn more about our...

1-In this introduction episode, I introduce myself and explain a little bit about a ministry I lead in Sacramento, California called LAST Ministry. I share our heart, how we got started and the way we interact with our community. I also share some of my experience working in full-time ministry since 1999 and some of the ways I have been able to express that in an organized church setting. Knowing...
